Chapter 130 Shelling Turtle

As soon as he saw Feng Sijiu returning to the team, Uncle Ming immediately broke free from Han Shuna's supporting hand, and rushed towards the opponent. He hugged his thigh tightly.

"Brother Feng, what do you think about this meeting? I see that you are capable people, so hurry up and think of a way."

"All right, all right, Uncle Ming, calm down first, I'll take you out of here right now."

Now that the exit to the upper floor is blocked, I don't know if it is a psychological hint. Everyone just feels a tightness in their chest and panic. Now that the situation is too late to think about other things, if they can't think of a way out, everyone will be trapped to death In this nine-story demon tower.

Feng Sijiu grabbed Uncle Kaiming's entanglement with his hands, and swept the flashlight around, only to see that the trio of Mojin and Lama Tiebang had been smeared with wolf blood by himself, and now the scabs had scabbed over, and the four of them were grabbing down snow wipes face.

Feng Sijiu didn't explain the reason. After all, it was for their safety at the time, and now they have to find a way to leave here.

Pulling aside A Dong, who looked like a dead man, Feng Sijiu handed the wolf-eyed flashlight to the other side, and then took out the military shovel from the space.

"The flashlight is on."

After saying something to A Dong, Feng Sijiu turned to one place and waved it with a military shovel. Wang Kaixuan immediately asked:

"Old Feng, what are you doing?"

"With our current equipment and manpower, it is impossible to dig out from above."

"Then you don't need to dig down, why don't we try digging to the side, maybe we can meet a crack that is not covered by snow and escape."

While Wang Kaixuan was speaking, Feng Sijiu's speed was very fast. He had dug out a large piece of frozen soil at the bottom of the tower, exposing the black wood underneath.

"I just found out that there should be a robbery hole down here, and it should be safer to go out from below."

After Feng Sijiu finished speaking, he had already pried open the black wood at the bottom of the tower before everyone could figure out where the robbery hole came from in the lower part of the nine-story demon tower.

When Hu Bayi and his group looked inside, they were immediately stunned, because the black wood at that position was obviously not from the original demon tower, as if someone had taken it down and put it back on again.

The outermost part is not rammed earth, it looks like ordinary frozen soil backfilled. It looks like a repaired robbery hole, but judging from the traces, it has been a long time.

"Damn it, who dug the robbery hole here?"

Feng Sijiu looked up at the crowd, and then said to himself:

"Who else is there, someone from the Reincarnation Sect."

After hearing this, Shirley Yang's eyes lit up, as if thinking of something, she couldn't help exclaiming:

"Could it be that this robbery hole leads to..."

She didn't speak clearly, but Hu Bayi already knew what the other party was going to say, so he immediately stood up and greeted Wang Kaixuan, and they quickly dug up the soil above.

It can be said to be a robbery hole, but it is not the kind of robbery hole made by tomb robbers. The permafrost broke through and there is actually a slope below, and there are layers of soil steps down. The bottom should be connected to a certain building. Obviously It was not chiseled in haste.

Seeing that the "thieves' cave" was completely dug up, Hu Bayi hurriedly let Uncle Ming and Lama Tiebang in. He had to leave the demon tower as soon as possible. Who knows, whether the nine-story demon tower would collapse under the weight of snow.

After experiencing the encounter with Ba Lu, A Dong now cherishes his life to the extreme. As soon as he heard Hu Bayi's greeting, he immediately went to explore the road and was the first to get into the slope under the frozen soil.

Uncle Ming scolded A Dong for being a rotten boy for ignoring his boss, while pushing Han Shuna and A Xiang inside, Lama Tiebang followed closely behind, and then Feng Sijiu followed by Hu Bayi and the others.

A group of people flashlighted and slowly climbed down the ramp. The further they went in, the more they could feel that this so-called robbery hole was not that simple, and they could tell at a glance what the Samsara Sect was digging inside.

Hu Bayi hurriedly asked the Lama Tiebang in front of him:

"Master Tiebang Lama, I remember you once said that you have to go through a door of disaster to get to the main city of the Demon Kingdom. I don't know what it means, can you tell us more?"

Lama Tiebang heard this, and hurriedly revealed all the clues he knew about the Demon Kingdom. Finally, Shirley Yang speculated that the end of this robbery hole is very likely to lead to the door of disaster. It is possible that he wanted to dig through the disaster gate into the Demon Kingdom. "

When guessing that this burglary hole might lead to the disaster gate of unknown danger, everyone was a little nervous. After climbing out of the initial ramp, everyone rested on the gentle slope for about half an hour.

Finally, I set off to continue down. There is a permafrost tunnel with earth steps under it. It extends in all directions underground and is dense like a spider web. No one dares to go off the road. They just go down the main road in the middle. Some spells can be seen from time to time on the way. , imprints, many of which are patterns of eyeballs.

After looking for the earthen steps to extend for a while, the end actually meets the vertical ice abyss. The ice wall is only slightly inclined, and it is impossible to go down without a rope.

At this time, A Dong didn't dare to go any further, so he retreated to the middle of the team. Feng Sijiu stood in front, and he could see the bottom of the ice abyss when he lowered his head. A shimmering river meanders under a glacier.

Except for Wang Kaixuan, who is afraid of heights, almost everyone looked down and couldn't help admiring: It's so beautiful!

"I think this is the bottom of the glacier. If we want to go down, there is a distance of more than 30 meters. At this height, we can use a long rope to fall directly."

After Hu Bayi finished speaking, he began to take the rope from his backpack, Feng Sijiu echoed and said:
"I think there is running water below. No matter what you have to go down, you can find a way out. The so-called encountering water leads to the way."

Uncle Ming's face turned green when he heard this, and he waved his hands again and again to express his disapproval:
"I think this ice wall is smoother than the surface of a mirror. Although more than 30 meters is not high, I would not be afraid when I was young, but now, if I fall, I will not break people. I think I should look for someone else. There's no other way, am I right, Fatty?"

Wang Kaixuan didn't speak, but looked down and felt dizzy. He wanted to agree with Uncle Ming's words, but when he saw the eyes of Feng Sijiu and Hu Bayi, he could only swallow his saliva and said with a dry smile:

"It's good to be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, but sometimes the spirit of adventure is still needed. Uncle Ming, you have lived a long time, so don't be afraid. Even if you fall flat, you will be a good man again in 20 years at most."

Uncle Ming looked left and right, and saw that all the old, weak, women and children were on his side. He said that the objection was ineffective, and in the end he had to compromise hard.

Therefore, Feng Sijiu pulled up the long rope and cooperated with the climbing pick, and descended first. When his feet landed and saw that there was no danger, he sent a signal for the people above to follow him down, and waited until Wang Kaixuan was the last one to shout When sliding down, everyone left this position.

Shirley Yang suggested to find a safe place to rest for the night first, so that Uncle Ming's family could regain their strength, otherwise, if they continued walking like this, they might die from exhaustion.

After discussing it properly, everyone looked for a place to camp nearby. Fortunately, there is an underground river under the ice abyss, and the water quality is extremely clear. There are many freshwater jellyfish in the water. From these guys.

This underground river valley seemed to have no end, and a group of people walked along the direction of the water with difficulty, and finally found a cave under the cliff covered with crystal stones.

Because this place is deep underground, if something falls from above, no one can bear it, so it is the most ideal place to camp if you encounter this kind of cave at the bottom of the cliff.

As soon as he saw the cave, Feng Sijiu's eyes lit up, and he was the first to enter the cave. After walking five or six steps in, there was a turning, and after that, there was a quite large space, about two The size of the room is about ten square meters.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan followed closely behind Feng Sijiu and held up wolf-eyed flashlights to take random photos in the cave. They could see some old stone platforms on the ground, and some white bull heads piled up in the corners. There is a black humanoid wooden statue more than one foot high on it.

Seeing that everything is normal here, it is indeed a good place to stay, Wang Kaixuan took A Xiang to look at it, and there was nothing abnormal, so he decided to rest in this cave, and immediately ordered A Dong to heat up the food and prepare for the stomach first.

While everyone was sitting around the fire, Feng Sijiu walked around the cave by himself. Since there were many stone platforms in the cave, everyone saw him walking between the stone platforms and didn't mind. Feel something abrupt.

Watching and watching, Feng Sijiu finally found a low passage behind a stone platform against the wall, inside was a semi-circular slope, winding to the top of the inner cave, before notifying everyone, Feng Sijiu Jiu bent down and got into the passage inside.

This passage was not very long. After half a circle, he saw a larger dome cave, about 100 square meters. The exit was a suspended semi-natural platform. Looking down, it was pitch black, and the bottom could not be seen at all. .

But he knew very well what was below, so he immediately took out a few fluorescent tubes from the space, lit them up, and threw them down, waiting for the blue light of the fluorescent tubes to illuminate the terrain below.

I saw countless unopened flower buds below, densely covered at the bottom of the cave. On the edge of these flower buds, there is a square boulder weighing a thousand catties, which is built with neat pieces of iceberg crystal stones. , pressing an object.

In the cave, when Hu Bayi and his party were sitting around the fire and listening to Uncle Ming complaining sadly, they suddenly heard Ah Xiang exclaim:
"Where's Brother Feng?"

Hearing that everyone looked around in the cave, Feng Sijiu, who was walking between the stone platforms before, disappeared inexplicably, A Dong felt his scalp go numb, and hurriedly moved closer to Lama Tiebang.

Feng Sijiu jumped off the stone platform, and landed on the flower buds that were just about to bloom. After lighting the direction with his flashlight, he hurried forward. Just three steps away, he suddenly smelled an unpleasant smell in his nose. of stench.

The closer to the huge glacier crystal stone, the stronger the smell. When he finally reached the glacier crystal boulder, Feng Sijiu could see the source of the fishy smell clearly, that was the big turtle under the crystal boulder.

Feng Sijiu is very clear that this thing has very high medicinal value, but the original book remembers that the other party is a shelling turtle, but now it seems that he came early, because the blood flowers haven't bloomed yet, this guy hasn't Come out to eat.

Feng Sijiu would definitely not go back and wait for the flowers to bloom. He thought about it for a while and tapped on the turtle shell with an engineering shovel, and then saw a wrinkled cock protruding from the turtle shell.

The green qi in Feng Sijiu's body turned to his right hand, and his whole palm was glowing blue, and he grabbed the old turtle's head and pulled it out. The old turtle felt that he was pulled away by a strong pulling force, and his entire turtle body had been separated from it. safe shell.

As soon as he saw success, Feng Sijiu hurriedly wrapped the old turtle's mouth tightly with tape, and then walked back with the pair.

Here, Hu Bayi had just discovered the passage behind the stone platform, and he was thinking about going in, when he suddenly saw Feng Sijiu coming out of it.

When Feng Sijiu threw the old tortoise on the ground, everyone looked at him in bewilderment. Wang Kaixuan went up and kicked the weird animal and asked in doubt:

"Old Feng, what is this guy? Why is he so ugly and hairless, the more he looks at it, the more he looks like he's oozing, besides, can this thing be eaten?"

"No, this guy is full of poison. By the way, I guess you don't know what kind of animal it is."

After everyone looked at him, Feng Sijiu continued to add:

"This is a thousand-year-old tortoise."

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they were a little dumbfounded. This guy doesn't look like a tortoise at all, so why did Feng Sijiujing open his eyes and talk nonsense.

Uncle Ming couldn't help but said for a while:

"I said Brother Feng, you are really humorous. You told a child of seven or eight years old, and he wouldn't believe it. How could this thing be a turtle?"

Seeing that Uncle Ming didn't believe it, Feng Sijiu looked at the crowd and said:
"You don't understand, this is no ordinary tortoise, this is a rare shedding turtle."

Hearing this, Hu Bayi and the others still didn't know what to say, but Uncle Ming was startled, and hurried to look at the strange animal seriously.

Suddenly, everyone saw Uncle Ming shouting excitedly:

"God! Shelling turtle, if it's true, we're going to be prosperous this time."

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan looked at Uncle Ming inexplicably, and they didn't know why the other party became so excited. Also, what does it mean to be developed?Could this shelling turtle be very valuable?

Seeing Hu Bayi and the others in a daze, Uncle Ming finally regained a sense of presence, and immediately told the story of when he first met Peter Huang.

When Peter Huang was a pirate, he intercepted a passenger ship, but the strange thing was that all the people on board had died. Many mushroom-like blood algae grew on the numerous corpses in the ship's cabin. A giant water lizard was killed on the boat, but many people died after being exposed to the blood of the corpse.

At that time, the pirate boss was familiar with things in the sea and knew that there might be something hidden on the ship, so he ordered people to search carefully. Sure enough, he found a turtle shell caught in the container in the warehouse. An old turtle that can molt must eat in the water. After eating special things, they all turned into spirits, killing everyone on board. Wherever it crawled, meat flowers and grasses would grow on the dead. After being eaten, the dead lost all their essence and blood, and would become mummy.

It is said that the shell of the shelling turtle is an extremely rare treasure, which can cure all poisons in the world, and this kind of thing is hard to find in the world.

At that time, because the pirates fought over this item, they killed each other and killed many people. Peter Huang almost lost his life. It was at that time that Uncle Ming rescued Peter Huang at sea, and he also learned about it from him. There are still such molting turtles in the world, but when he took people back to look for them again, the pirate's ship had exploded and sank, so he had to return disappointed.

Later, after a long time, this incident gradually faded away. Now I never thought that I would meet a live shelling turtle here. Since the real owner is here, what about his shell?

Thinking of this, Uncle Ming pulled Feng Sijiu's arm affectionately and asked:
"Brother Feng, where is the shell of the shelling turtle? Did you get it? Why don't you sell it to me?"

Seeing that Uncle Ming was so excited, Feng Sijiu had no choice but to press the empty tortoise shell under the huge glacier crystal stone inside. Wang Kaixuan heard that the shelling turtle was so valuable and he hadn't retrieved it yet, so he wished he could take his guy in to dig it up. turtle shell.

Uncle Ming also meant the same thing. From a certain point of view, Wang Kaixuan and Uncle Ming belonged to the same people...
